Issue 55 - Oct/Nov 2016

Spring has sprung in the low country, with some warmer nights and pretty good growth on north facing aspects.

The high country spring is still some months away though, but snow levels are receding, avalanche risk has significantly reduced, and the deer and other
game animal’s appetites are on the rise - which means they’ll be moving about more and will be easier to find.
